This is too funny... http://www.geocities.com/evilprogressive/ I'm guessing the guy genuinely believes what he's saying, though if you were to parody this, he's practically done the job for you already...
This guy needs to pull the corncob out of his ass and loosen up!! Hilarious -- I wonder if he has a page like this for other genres of music. He obviously did no research into the origin of the 'Pink Floyd' name. Many of the people I know who listen to prog rock are quite intelligent and active, upstanding members of the community. so I'll keep listening to 'prog rock' and go to hell -- hopefully this guy won't be there.........
That's odd. I always thought most hardcore prog-rock fans were nerds who never smoked pot in their lives, let alone even gotten laid. Um, yeah.... I am pretty sure that website is a joke not intended to be taken seriously. It's not all that funny, either. And since when is Brian Eno considered "prog-rock"? And I am also pretty sure that King Crimson didn't use drugs... well, at least Robert Fripp didn't (or as he claims).
Yeah I'm still scratching my head over whether this guy is for real, although I'm kinda thinking he is. Scarily enough there are quite a few anti-rock music Christian fundamentalists out there. If he is for real, what's also scary is the fact he claims to be a youth tutor. I'd never want my (hypothetical) kids to be taught by a loon like him.
uh yeah, I dont think it was intended to take that page seriously. At least I didnt. I mean, come on, the guy thinks that Pink Floyd is an obvious drug reference?? to what perhaps?? seriously, though, if it was meant to be serious, I think he would have done more research into those bands.
i don't know..."We Have Heaven" by Yes made me want to murder my parents and place them on a burning pentacle alter for the dark lord.
Well, Pink Floyd is also wrongly considered "Progressive." In my opinion, Eno's music is the antithesis of everything prog-rock was and stood for - especially his early stuff. It lacked the pretentions of prog-rock by totally neglecting virtuosity and vapid technicalities (in the spirit of the VU of course). The music was also not centered around classical or jazz structures, so there is no way it can technically be considered prog-rock. Eno's first two albums are like the Velvet Underground meets the Beatles, meets something entirely of its own and unlike anything released previously by any other band or artist.
its got to be a joke. everyones taking this way to seriously and getting way to technical. who gives a shit what is or isnt prog-rock? did you read the shit he said? whether he got the definition right or not doesnt matter. hes full of shit, and its funny. the only part thats not funny is, there are people out there who probably believe that crap. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!!! THE DEVIL!!!
If this is serious then this guy is a fucking idiot. most everyone i know listens to progressive rock and all of us a pretty nice guys, not travelers on the dark path at all. shit my last band was progressive metal, that's really the closest thing to anything that this guy is saying. but not even prog metal fits his picture. if it is a joke then it's pretty funny and well thought out. also not to seem like i'm doing and ad campaign but i have the songs from my prog metal project up on my site www.martythebear.com/index.htm
Heh it's hard to tell ain't it? If it is a joke, the man crafted it perfectly. It seems too stupid to be serious and yet too crazy to be a joke.
The guy is just an idiot and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children with bigoted views such as that
This guy has to be joking.. Although I do agree with bradofcentralpa in that some Yes songs have made me want to murder people (particularly John Anderson).
